I've been washing my eyes with tap water every few hours lately, but they started burning every time I did it. I just discovered that the Dettol Liquid Handwash I use might not rinse off completely and could be the reason for the burning and irritation in my eyes. I skipped washing my eyes today and haven't experienced any symptoms. Could this soap residue be causing problems for my eyes in the long run?

Question

It's been 26 days since my C-section delivery. I'm wondering if it's okay to start wearing contact lenses now or if it could cause any harm. If it's not advisable yet, how much longer should I wait?

I'm noticing that every month my eyes get red and itchy, but it's weird because it happens to only one eye at a time. If it's my right eye this month, then it's the left one the next month. I don't have any vision problems, but it usually happens close to my period. I've seen the doctor a few times and while the issue gets better with the prescribed stuff like Refresh Tears and Ketorolac Tromethamine ophthalmic solution, it keeps coming back. Do you know of any permanent solution for this?

Question

Can't see anything with both of my eyes even after wearing glasses, and I'm thinking I might need to change them. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
